Man, I'm almost embarrassed to show my poor flying V here, but here goes. It's an 80 model, real early mahogany (not Korina) 58 style. I have had it for many years. It had been so badly abused when I got it after a show for 150 bucks that for a while I just left it in a closet. It has a hole in the back where someone routed for a 9 volt battery (plugged). The neck was broken at the heel, the headstock was off of it entirely, and it was missing a jagged 2 inch section where it had been shattered. I mainly bought it to get the case to sell to another guy. I sold the tuners, pots, and Shaw p/ups on ebay. In the closet.
About a year ago I walk into a local luthiers shop and he had a Korina Epi neck hanging there, with a tad of the body hanging on it. A kid sold it to him for 5 bucks, it had been run over by a car! The neck had a huge profile. The fingerboard was ruined. He gave me the neck. I took it home and over a period of a few weeks, I got the remains of the original neck out of the body, and recarved the Epi tenon to fit. The board was bought off ebay, seller claimed it to be a real gibson one, I don't know, but it worked without having to sand the edges much at all. I mated them together and sprayed it with K mart Black lacquer and clear that they sell in the auto section. I only lacked the pickups, pots, and tuners. I actually had a proper Gibson head logo stashed away. I used the original Nashville bridge and plastic to reassemble it.
I got some wilkinson gold tuners and an RS kit with hovland cap for it. Pickups are a Gibson 57 Classic + at treble, and a Smits PAF style at rhythm. The guitar looks pretty decent, and palys and sounds just great. I especially love it's light weight and huge neck profile. I refretted it and added a bone nut. The only thing I hate is the 3 screw Epi truss cover. I'd put the original Gibson one on it, but there is no place for the bottom screw to go into. I wish I could find an original style rubber insert for it, maybe someday. Anyhow here is a pic of it.
